The main thing I'm learning about a lot of Trump II staffers is so many of them are obsessed with their own individual policy bugbears (ex: war with China over Taiwan) and are so dedicated to tearing other things down to achieve their one thing that it may just cause Federal Three Stooges Syndrome.

Also - because I got wrapped up mainly in force structure and planning issues in my earlier rant thread - the idea to completely cut both the DoD-wide commissary *and* school programs? lmao

I'm going to have to re-roll my odds on the likelihood of a military coup in the next (at least) four years.
The new leadership at DoD is obsessed with cutting to the bone anything that isn't to do with a war with China over Taiwan- which is hilarious because then they'll A.) likely fight a war where they need the stuff they cut; and/or B.) still probably lose against the PLA for other very dumb reasons.
Me reading a document some new DoD political appointees published stating they want to cut the Army by 21 BCTs.

Prtizker emerging along with AOC as one of the only blue state politicians who can string a coherent sentence together
Pritzker: "President Trump ought to be calling that out. If he doesn't agree with Elon Musk, if he doesn't agree with two Sieg Heils at his own rally and backing a party that backs Nazis, then he ought to say so. Why isn't Donald Trump speaking out?

“the forms must be obeyed”

I’ve said this a few times, a bit tongue in cheek, but the response to this kind of lawlessness needs to be a formal compliance with the law and procedure

weaponizing the law cuts both ways
The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

this is what long-time Elon watchers call "The Realization": when Elon stumbles into your area of expertise, and you realize everyone just gives the guy the benefit of the doubt because he talks about complicated things people don't pay attention to
I’ve been thinking about how monumentally stupid the Elon video game cheating thing is and I think it comes back to this post

there aren’t a ton of people who work in cars, or rockets, or even software

but everyone - everyone! - understands cheating at video games

totally unnecessary self-own

Oh hey y'all. It's been a while since I stepped foot into this acc. Not sure what to do with it outside of promoting my YT videos

I got a lot on my plate IRL, especially after Helene & Milton came along. I don't even know where to begin

This woman's made jingles for TV commercials, campaign promos for ABC & PBS, & even sang in the Jem cartoon, but her series of "Hello [region]" jingles for local TV stations was an impressive feat

You're the best place that I know"

When I first heard this story of the Secret Service planning on what to do if Trump was held in contempt & sent to jail, I thought to myself, ya know, maybe Biden's dogs were onto something

Just a hunch tho. I just know gsheps tend to be smart dogs

Mark my words, you're gonna see a handful of universities end a relatively long tradition of letting students decorate their graduation caps this year & will use "security" as their excuse, all because of a particular crisis in one part of the world that some people are rightfully upset about

I think this should be very obvious by now, but while Putin may be an evil sack of garbage, when it comes to the horrific attack at the Moscow theater, remember the evergreen Dril tweet
